The Moon is always the same size. What we see increasing is the lighted part of the nearside of the Moon. When it is increasing, we call it "waxing"; when we see it decreasing, the word "waning" is used.

The moon does not grow larger. It sometimes appears larger due to how close it is to the Earth at that point in time.
